WE WILL GIVE IT MORE TIME

We could write a post on several subjects concerning Suffolk citizens but until there are answers all we could do is speculate, which accomplishes nothing. We all know that city leaders do not listen to everyone and we hope they are not listening to only those to whom they are somehow beholden. We know there is great interest in restoring Obici House and history buffs have charged into the battle, perhaps suspecting the City has no interest except ridding itself of the golf course. Then there is the SPSA mess that will not go away, gets larger in scope, and there may not be any solution. Gardy has one. And we hesitate to speak of the incoming Police Chief…how long before he might suffer the “Cave” syndrome and be ushered out the door because he wasn’t a good fit. A Post on our website would surely elicit comments on all these matters but, again, who listens?

Harris Teeter opens an upscale grocery store in the right and wrong place. Would it have been better for Suffolk if it were located downtown or would no parking space and shortage of customers be a problem. Seems like the high-end retail outlets are going up where there are folks making more money. If you see a new courthouse being built in North Suffolk, moving City Hall will not be far behind. One last item…they tore down the Birdsong Recreation so drive-bys could see the SCCA from Main. Keep you eye on that spot and see what happens there.
